[1]A black coat behind the name “Raven”
The long, rough coat forms a neck mane and leg feathering. FCI calls for all black or more than 80 percent black, with white on the chest and forelegs. White may reach the wrist on the front of a foreleg and almost the elbow on its rear; white hind toe tips are not penalized. The black coat gives the breed its name “Raven.”
